A Pilot Study of Inosine in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Inosine for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a single center, open label, 12-week study of inosine treatment. Inosine treatment leads to an increase in the levels of urate (uric acid) in the blood. The primary objective of the study is to determine the tolerability of oral administration of inosine. Secondary study objectives include the measurement of biomarkers of oxidative stress and damage in response to inosine treatment.

Twenty-five eligible subjects will receive inosine for 12 weeks (administered in the form of 500 mg capsules, 1 to 6 capsules a day for a total daily dose of up to 3 gm). The dose of inosine will be titrated to target urate levels of 7-8 mg/dL based on urate level measurement that will occur at Week 2, Week 4, Week 6, and Week 9 after Baseline.
